For A Handful Of Earth Poem by Nastasimir Franovic

For A Handful Of Earth

For a Handful of Earth

I'd give everything,
everything for a handful of earth,
where I set foot
for the very first time.
Everything for a handful of earth
that swallows the rock.
For a handful of earth
I carry in my breast.
For a handful of earth
I tread upon in freedom.
Where my heart beats free.
For a handful of earth
that lingers beneath my fingernails.
For its sun
that flows in my veins.
